If you are among those who own the two previous Braen\u2019s Machine LPs, \u201cUnderground\u201d and \u201cQuarta pagina\u201d, you\u2019re probably already well aware of one of Italian library music best kept secrets, that is the real identities of those hiding behind the pseudonyms Braen and Gisteri. These were the monikers of Alessandro Alessandroni and Oronzo De Filippi, directed by Piero Umiliani and his record label Liuto. With \u201cTemi ritmici e dinamici\u201d (Rhythmic and dynamic themes) the plot thickens and gives us two other aliases to unveil, with each of them signing one of the two sides of the album: G. Ugolini and Awake; we believe, though, that the already mentioned Alessandroni and De Filippi also hide behind these nicknames.<\/p>\n
In contrast with \u201cUnderground\u201d and \u201cQuarta pagina\u201d, \u201cTemi ritmici e dinamici\u201d offers brighter, less psychedelic atmospheres, leaving room to beat sounds, to a swinging rhythm section, to the Hammond organ (\u201cGara\u201d resembles the James Taylor Quartet, but a decade earlier), and even to moog and synthesizers (\u201cDilettanti\u201d). Despite a lighter and an almost purely entertaining context, the album also allows for experimentation, as can be heard in the two songs that close both sides: \u201cEsercizi Ginnici\u201d and \u201cAspetti Grotteschi\u201d. There\u2019s no better soundtrack than \u201cTemi ritmici e dinamici\u201d for your \u2018outdoor activities\u2019 (\u201cAttivit\u00e0 all\u2019aperto\u201d), or if you\u2019re always seeking for \u2018competition\u2019 (\u201cCompetizione\u201d). An exercise that works perfectly, even while comfortably lying on the couch\u2026<\/p>\n
